Renal hematoma in a patient undergoing hemodialysis. Complication of acquired renal cystic disease.

Abstract

A spontaneous renal hematoma developed in a patient treated by long-term intermittent maintenance hemodialysis. This scanty complication of hemodialysis was related to the recently described acquired cystic disease of the kidneys. Diagnosis was ascertained before nephrectomy by computed tomography and selective renal angiography.
